Load shedding pushed to stage 3
Power utility Eskom says that load shedding will be higher on Sunday, 4 February.

Eskom said it will closely monitor the power system and communicate any further changes should it be required.
The utility previously intended to keep load shedding at stage 2 for the weekend.
